I lost a smart key to one of my cars and my indi shop got it for me and charged me about $300+ tax. If you can aviod the dealer do that and find a indi shop. They can get keys to.
thanks, i figured you couldn't just buy a blank key off of ebay and be all set. programming must be involved.

From what I understand, you can no longer get them from aftermarket re-sellers. It is considered a security item so it must be obtained from the dealer after you provide proof of ownership of the car. They order it from Texas, where they program it to your specific car, and you get it the next day.
Unless something has changed yet again, that is how I understood it to work.

It was a fairly recent change in MB policy. It was deemed a security item, so it has to go thru the dealer for security reasons, or so I am told. This applies to any "security" item on the car.
